company at an early growth stage that still has lots of upside, with a small workforce and a manufacturing model
that has been tested and is scaling efficiently.
Factory does not manufacture for its partners. "We
produce value, but we do not produce any product,"
Thompson says. "We do everything but manufacturing." The companies that join Factory are usually already

producing product and usually have a co-manufacturer.
Factory identifies a better or more efficient co-manufacturer when needed or finds an alternative manufacturer to
produce new product formats. If a Factory partner grows
large enough, Thompson and his team will help them
build a factory.
Although Factory's current partner companies produce products for humans, Factory is looking closely at a
few pet treat companies. Thompson says the margins for
treats are attractive and the sheer number of treats available means no one company can own the treat market.
Thompson points out that margins for pet food are getting
tighter with the growth of online private labels. "These
private brands are moving into the premium category at
lower prices and lower margins," he says. "Everybody has
a different treat and consumers like to try different treats,
which makes that market more attractive than pet food at
the moment."
For a few lucky pet treat entrepreneurs willing to
dream, work hard and grow fast, the Factory team is
ready to get to work.
